y=-x/3-1 (red line)
4x-3y=18
-3y=-4x+18
y=-4x/-3+18/-3
y=4x/3-6 (green line)
Intercept (3,-2)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions -x/3 -1 and 4x/3 -6).

The graphs are 2 straight lines. 2 points is sufficient to plot a straight line.
Where they cross is the solution.
----------------
y = -x/3 - 1
Pick 2 values for x and find y.
x...y
0...-1 --> (0,-1)
6...-3 --> (6,-3)
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them
------------
Do the same for the 2nd eqn.
Where they cross is the solution.

Solve graphically.
y=-1/3x-1
---
Plot two points:
Let x = 0, then y = -1 giving you point (0,1)
Let x = 3, then y = -2 giving you point (3,-2)
------------------------------------------------
4x-3y=18
y = (4/3)x-6
Let x = 0, then y = -6 giving you point (0,-6)
Let x = 3, then y = -2 giving you point (3,-2)
-------------------------------------------------
----------------------
Solution: (3,-2)
